RAMALLAH, April 17, 2026 (WAFA) – Israeli occupation forces set up a military checkpoint on Saturday at the entrance to the village of Yabrud, east of Ramallah, disrupting daily mobility of Palestinians.
Local sources reported that Israeli troops set up the checkpoint at the village entrance, known as the "Yabrud Bridge," stopping Palestinian vehicles and checking passengers’ identification cards, causing a severe traffic jam.
The occupation maintains approximately 1,000 checkpoints and military gates that geographically separate the West Bank governorates, imposing significant restrictions and impeding the movement of Palestinians.
